Experience the Real Puglia in My Family Masseria
Walk through olive groves, taste what we grow, and feel at home in the heart of southern Italy.
This is not a tour made for tourists.
It’s a true moment of rural life, shared with you as if you were a friend.
In my masseria, everything follows the rhythm of the seasons.
What you’ll see, what you’ll touch, and what you’ll taste, all comes from this land.
What You’ll Experience
During this experience, you’ll:
Walk together with me through our organic vegetable garden, almond groves, and olive trees
Learn how we grow everything without chemicals, respecting nature’s rhythms
Taste fresh fruits directly from the trees figs, mulberries, plums (depending on the season)
Discover how to recognize a real, high quality olive oil
Try a curated selection of farm cheeses, seasonal vegetables, and traditional snacks
Enjoy a wine tasting with Black Rodolfo and White Rodolfo, made by my uncle
Make Traditional Pasta With My Mother
Real flour, real oil, real hands.
One of the most loved moments of the experience:
You’ll be invited into our kitchen or outdoors (if the weather is good) to learn how to make traditional handmade pasta.
And not just watch, you’ll do it.
Together with my mother, you’ll make:
No machines, no rush.
Just flour, water, time — and the hands of my mother, who will teach you how to make:
Orecchiette
Cavatelli
Fricelli
We use only what we produce here:
The flour comes from our wheat, ground in a local mill
The olive oil is from our own trees
The water is from our land
And the hands are ours. And soon, yours too.
“There’s nothing fancy. Just real food, made with love and tradition.”

A Full Traditional Apulian Lunch
Made from what we grow, cooked like we always have.
After the walk and the pasta making, we sit down for a real lunch, the kind we eat here, with everything prepared using ingredients from our land or from nearby farms.
You’ll taste:
The pasta made by my mother Anna Maria, cooked with seasonal sauces
Vegetables from our garden
Our own almonds, olives, and fresh bread
Cheeses and cured meats from trusted neighbors
Our wine and olive oil, served with care
We eat together, under the trees or in the courtyard, with no rush.
Just laughter, conversation, and food that means something.

Looking for something specific?
Maybe you’d like to visit a traditional olive mill, go truffle hunting, take a walk with donkeys, or spend a day at the beach followed by dinner in a fishing village.

I’ll do my best to help you find it.
I’ve lived here my whole life, and I know people I trust all across the region.
